PRIMABENE® cold-pressed grape seed oil is obtained through cold pressing of crushed grape seeds. The oil content of the seeds is approximately 20% and is particularly rich in linoleic and linolenic acids. It is a dark green oil with an intense aromatic smell and a sweetish, slightly bitter taste.
PRIMABENE® cold-pressed grape seed oil is distinguished by its content of procyanidin (OPC). This powerful antioxidant protects cells and is up to 50 times stronger than vitamin E and up to 20 times more effective than vitamin C.
